The Covington Food Bank provides food assistance to more than 375 individuals and families each week who live at or below the federal poverty guidelines and have found themselves in need in our community. After qualifying for assistance, an individual can receive a minimum of 35 lbs. of food once each month and families can receive a minimum of 75lbs. of food twice each month. Depending on donations, recipients may also receive what we call a “lagniappe” box. A lagniappe box may be filled with breads, pastries, dairy products, fresh produce, or frozen foods.

The Food Bank is supported almost in its entirety by local food drives held by individuals, schools, civic organizations and businesses, as well as monetary donations. The Food Bank also receives a small percentage of its food from Second Harvesters, a Feeding America agency.
